djwar Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Hi everyone, noob here ! also pretty new to Launchbox Can anyone help me to set up CD emulator like Dreamcast, Sega CD...etc I ve been looking online, but still not able to make it work. So far I got bios in the system folder and retroarch has the path correct. Dreamcast was not in the list of emulators in launchbox.. strange that launchbox didn't have it....

DOS76 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Its not really strange the DC core is rather new and also at this point not very good. I wouldn't actually make RetroArcj your DC emulator but instead go with Demul for the time being. Looking at your screenshots it looks as if everything is typed in correctly. Make sure you have the correct bios files with the correct names in the systems folders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 We didn't have the default command line parameter for Dreamcast automatically because the Dreamcast core is not really suggested. If you use the Tools -> Manage Emulator you also won't need to use the edit game window to do this stuff (which may be faster, but it doesn't matter as long as the command and settings go in to the same place). So that said, you're using that "-run=dc -image=" command line parameter for the entire RetroArch emulator, which won't work for any other core, and actually I believe doesn't actually work for the Dreamcast Core. I believe that is a command for a completely different emulator. So I would start by removing that. You said the BIOS are in the proper location, but are they named properly? If RA is trying to start but then closing right away it could be the command you are trying to pass, the wrong BIOS name or even a corrupt BIOS or game.

SentaiBrad Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I would suggest that you watch our tutorials on our YouTube channel. You can get there by clicking the link in my signature or the tutorials button at the top of the forums. I have covered each of these systems and it may answer a lot of questions that you are having. As for that RA crash, try updating your version of RetroArch to the latest, I honestly don't know why you're getting that crash but it's not good. If anyone else here doesn't know why I would ask at the RA forums, they should certainly know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwar Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 I managed to fix Sega CD You know, I downloaded bios from different sites, and I found out something interesting for me that I didnt know until now depending on the bios you find for sega CD you get a slightly different intro ...

Actually before coming to forum today that was suggested by Jason, I had been watching your videos, they helped me a lot for cartridges emulators. And the bios are fine, I know, cause I use them with Nulldc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Yea the intro depends on the version of the BIOS or if someone patched them potentially. Ah, well then I would just follow the tutorial. Just shy of actually modding a Dreamcast, Dreamcast gaming is really poor on emulation. We're also hoping that Reicast in RA becomes sophisticated enough because this is a system that can seriously benefit from being inside of RetroArch.

djwar Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 everything fixed, I tried your suggestion for dreamcast using Demul, it is better than Nulldc. The core didnt work though and as far for sega cd the problem was the name of the bios file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
